				Elpress Aluminium Terminals (Al) 
				Terminals for 16 mm˛ to 630 mm˛ aluminium conductors are made of 
				solid 99.7% aluminium. We produce type AS and AK Al-terminals, 
				but also many customer-adapted connectors (including some larger 
				than 1200 mm˛).  
				The
				
				Elpress system suits both stranded conductors, in accordance 
				with IEC 228 class 2, and solid conductors, in accordance with 
				IEC 228 class 1. 
				 
				* Type AK or bimetallic type AKK terminals are used to terminate 
				Al-conductors for connection to bus bars and apparatus outlets. 
				 
				* AS type tube terminals are used for jointing Al-conductors 
				 
				* AKS type tube terminals are used for jointing Cu-conductors to 
				Al-conductors 
				
				
				Markings and number of crimps 
				
				When using sector-shaped 
				Al-cable, round crimping of the conductor is normally required, 
				which is done with a round crimping tool. When contact crimping 
				Al-connectors, two crimps are always performed. Al-connectors 
				are marked with a logo, conductor cross-sectional area for 
				stranded and solid conductors, and references to round crimping 
				and contact crimping tools within the Elpress range. 
				When crimping is completed with the correct tool, the Elpress 
				dies stamp the sleeve so that all connections can be checked 
				afterwards. 
				Except for the hobby tools, there is a built-in full closure 
				system which ensures that the complete crimping procedure has 
				been performed – a condition for ensuring a professional and 
				high quality job.
